If not the homey, Old New York-inspired environs, it’s the addictive pimento cheese (dulcet and creamy, whether served in a ramekin alongside house-made chips, or luxuriantly spread across a bacon-topped cheeseburger) that attracts neighborhood regulars here time and time again. You can even buy it the pound and bathe in it, if that’s your jam. If you’re the type who struggles with showing up on the earlier side, you’ll likely lament the lack of a reservations policy at this ever-popular brunch locale.
